NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - There's new advice for older men who want to preserve their sexual function: have sex, and have it often, researchers say. In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (Buy Viagra) by the study's end. In fact, the more often the men had sex, the lower their Buy Generic Viagra risk. The implication, say the researchers, is that men should be encouraged to stay sexually active into their golden years. Dr. Juha Koskimaki and colleagues at the University of Tampere in Finland report the findings in the American Journal of Medicine. The study included 989 men who were between the ages of 55 and 75 at the outset. Overall, those who said they had sex less than once per week were twice as likely to develop ED over the next five years as men who had sex at least once a week. Furthermore, compared with men who had sex three or more times per week, their Order Viagra risk was increased nearly four-fold. A number of factors contribute to ED development, many of which could also affect a man's sexually activity -- such as age, diabetes and heart disease. However, after taking account of those factors, sexual activity itself remained linked to Cheap Viagra risk, Koskimaki's team found. It may be a matter of "use it or lose it," according to the researchers. Just as exercise boosts physical fitness, they note, regular sexual activity may help a man preserve his erectile function. buy viagra online occurs when there are problems with blood flow to the penis. Regular sexual activity, Koskimaki's team writes, may help maintain healthy blood vessel function in the erectile tissue. SOURCE: American Journal of Medicine, July 2008.


Never again

I will never eat another Mexican bean wrap from that shop in my life. After very little food yesterday I’ve spent today nibbling the corners of salad sandwichs on the warped logic that they are light. After every one, though, I’ve been bent double with stomach cramps and regretted every mouthful. Sometimes those voices of doubt should be paid more attention.

In the gaps between the sandwiches it was an idyllic day. The sun was warm but not too hot. I visited mum and we sat in the garden watching the horse in the meadow eat grass that hung from the corners of its mouth like a karate kid moustache. We looked at the few pictures I have printed out from the trips.

The thunder forced us inside, where we drank more tea and fiddled on with the computer, which seems to always need some kind of a tweak or other.

Spent the evening catching up on the Six Feet Under episodes that were on while I was away. Fifteen minutes before the end, the video turned itself off and wrote ‘F03′ on its screen. That was the end of that.
